How can most of the world be called a lier? Thats what Israel says. And Israel repeatedly does not cooperate with law enforcement of ANY kind.
heres the story-rest of it at link:
Amnesty International has said Israel inflicted “wanton destruction” in the Gaza Strip in attacks that often targeted Palestinian civilians during an offensive in December and January in the Hamas-run enclave.
The London-based rights group, in a 117-page report on the 22 days of fighting, also criticised the Islamist movement Hamas for rocket attacks on Israel, which it called “war crimes”.
Among other conclusions, Amnesty said it found no evidence to support Israeli claims that Gaza guerrillas deliberately used civilians as “human shields”, but it did, however, cite evidence that Israeli troops put children and other civilians in harm’s way by forcing them to remain in homes taken over by soldiers.
Amnesty International said some 1,400 Palestinians were killed in Israel’s Operation Cast Lead, including 300 children and hundreds of innocent civilians, a figure broadly in line with those from the Hamas-run Health ministry in Gaza and the independent Palestinian Centre for Human Rights.
The Israeli military put the Palestinian death toll at 1,166 of whom 295 were civilians. Thirteen Israelis were killed, including three civilians, during the offensive Israel launched with the declared aim of curtailing cross-border rocket attacks.
Accusing Israel of “breaching laws of war”, Amnesty said: “Much of the destruction was wanton and deliberate, and was carried out in a manner and circumstances which indicated that it could not be justified on grounds of military necessity.”
Israel and Hamas have both rejected accusations of war crimes. An Israeli military inquiry found no evidence of crimes. Israel has refused to cooperate with a United Nations inquiry that is now gathering evidence. The investigators were prejudiced against Israel from the outset, the government said.

I was just read Sadam Husseins interview and he stated the cause of all of the unrest in Iraq and the mideast was Israhell and that is why he fired Quassam rockets at them, he figured if he could get rid of Israhell he had a chance to negotiate with other countries. It seems Israhell is just nothing but a bunch of terrorist from way back and even the terrorists consider them terrorists. America must back away from funding Israhell and thier Terrorist country. Something must be done to stop this slaughter and torture of innocent people.

Some people just can't get along with others.
It's amazing without the predominately Christian United States of America giving Israel welfare to the tune of billions and billions and billions of dollars, not to mention buying products produced in Israel, they would have long ago been wiped off the face of the earth already.
Even for the six day war United States intelligence provided Israel with critical intelligence and no doubt weaponry without which Israel would have likely ceased to exist then.

this is a story as old as writing. people of canaan were taken into egypt as slaves and after many generations rebelled. they found the promiced land, the land they had come from, but they were no longer canaanites they were jews.
the jews couln't care less what goyum think or say. they are as strong a sectarian people as they come. thousands of years they have fought the same enemies over the same land. a u.n. resolution would mean less to them than yesterday's lunch. they are strong and increadibly single minded, oh and did i say; they do'nt care what we think. - 2 years ago

I just hope that Nutinyahoo and his crew of henchmen are brought to bear the full punishment for the murder of innocent people. Justice must be served and israhell must be brought to justice, its to bad but nothing will replace all of the innocent children, men and women that the Israles have murdered in the name of greed and land. This is shameful at the least and if i were an Israle I would be protesting these atrocities or hiding from the public for condoning this slaughter of innocent people.

Something will happen this time, the agenda put forth by the president can not afford for this to be unchecked with Netanyahu pulling this power play garbage over the settlements, our support on this is a very cheap and politically safe way to hit him (to the UN and amnesty international that is).
Not many people know it was the British that pushed out the Palestinians, even amongst the people of the Middle East... good job Highr0ller.

We went to stand up as a united people of conscience in NONVIOLENT Solidarity with the people of Gaza and in support of all the NGO’s that have been denied access into the Gaza Strip for over two weeks.
We went in love and for love of all of God’s children;
Be they the oppressed or the oppressors,
Those imprisoned by walls and those who erect them,
Those who are denied clean water and their deniers,
Those whose fears rule their hearts and the heartbroken,
Those whose ideology, greed, apathy, and power blind them to their culpability, responsibilities and obligations.
We went with hope to arouse the consciences of the leaders of the world to seek peace through justice; equal human rights for all.
Some media turned out for the NGO meeting we attended in the parking lot at Erez Crossing-NOT USA media needless to say.Israel and the USA both signed the Geneva Convention. That makes them BOTH legally, morally and ethically RESPONSIBLE for the 1.5 million open air prisoners of Gaza and 60% are children under the age of 16 years old.
In the afternoon, of that same day, Israeli forces kidnapped at gunpoint nonviolent internationals connected with ISM who were onboard a Gaza fishing boat in international waters.
ISM is a Palestinian-led movement that resists the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land in creative and nonviolent ways. ISM was founded by a few committed thoughtful people in August, 2001 and supports and strengthens the Palestinian popular resistance by providing international presence and a voice that cannot be silenced.
ISM volunteer, Darlene Wallach of California arrived in Gaza aboard a FREE GAZA Movement boat but while on a Gaza fishing boat she was kidnapped at gunpoint by Israeli forces and then deported to New York City on Thanksgiving Day, 2008. Darlene arrived without money, passport, cell phone, warm wi......... - 2 years ago

Israel is a rogue state...............................a state built on stolen land. British Empire did not have legal right to Palestine (occupying it by force) and THEREFORE did not have a legal right to grant it to the very people that Europe wanted rid of (Holocaust survivors).
Israel was created illegally and has been expanding and expanding its territory ever since.
Any human willing to look during the Gaza so called 'war'............can you call it 'war' when a powerfully armed army attacks unarmed civilians.
Women dead.
Children dead.
Babies dead.Today 21 foreigners are being possibly tortured by the Israeli army:....they were kidnapped yesterday.
Israeli Occupation Forces have kidnapped 21 Human Rights workers aboard the Free Gaza boat, Spirit of Humanity, including Nobel laureate Mairead Maguire & former U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney.

AIPAC is so strong in corrupt American politics and with America more and more behaving like an Empire worldwide the Israelis can thumb their finger at America.......................................SO WHO IS LEFT TO BRING ISRAEL TO BOOK?
We the citizens of the world must stand up for the people of Palestine and stop Israel.
I preach not HATE.....I call for some humanity.
And tribe of Zion, don't give me the old Holocaust "victim" story, or the "you'r anti s emetic" line. Spare me the lies.
